Abstract

In this paper, we generalize the Tits construction for Lie superalgebras such that sl2\mathfrak{sl}_2 acts by even derivations and decompose, as sl2\mathfrak{sl}_2-module, into a direct sum of copies of the adjoint, the natural and the trivial representations. This construction generalizes the one provided by Elduque et al in \cite{EBCC23}, and it is possible to described the sl2\mathfrak{sl}_2-Lie superstructure in terms of J\mathcal{J}-ternary superalgebras as a super version of the defined by Allison. We extend the Tits-Kantor-Koecher construction and the Tits-Allison-Gao functor that define a short sl2\mathfrak{sl}_2-Lie superalgebra from a J\mathcal{J}-ternary superalgebra (J,M)(\mathcal{J},\mathcal{M}). Our setting includes and generalizes both \cite{EBCC23} and Shang's \cite{S22}.
